Buying Guide

Art Deco armchairs are glamorous, sophisticated, and luxurious pieces of furniture. Their addition to your home will add some glamour into your living spaces.

To choose the right hues, you have to consider taking two distinct routes.

  • The first one is opting for saturated versions. These armchairs are in chocolate browns, heavy blacks or creamy whites and finished using bold accent colors.
  • Your second option is less restrained. Art Deco armchairs may be decked out in eye-catching, rich shades, particularly deep yellow, blue, green, and red. You can successfully add colorful Art Deco armchairs into your space, but you need to limit yourself to a maximum of four shades.

Art Deco armchairs may be stunning, but they are not for the faint-hearted. If your home is driven by the word “opulence’ in terms of décor, then the chairs can work for you. However, you still need to include your home’s color palette when selecting the right Art Deco armchair for it.

Art Deco furniture comes in thre different conditions:

  • New. Lots of furniture makers create new armchairs with an Art Deco style. You can expect the quality of these chairs to be excellent as you’re getting something brand new and in the best condition.
  • Restored. At the moment, there’s a trend for ‘upcycling.’ Restored Art Deco armchairs are vintage furniture pieces that were given a modern twist through reupholstering with funky fabrics or giving the framework with stunning finishes. Restored armchairs are your best options if you want vintage chairs that are updated to suit your modern living spaces. As they’re chairs from the 1920s, it is likely for them to be sought-after and very expensive.
  • Vintage. If you are anything like us, then you also want original pieces from the 20th century. You'll find lots of vintage Art Deco armchairs online like on auction sites. However, as they’re not restored pieces, they may have cigarette burns on them. The cushioning may be past its best as well. Vintage chairs require a bit of work but they’re well worth restoring.

Elegant shapes distinguish Art Deco armchairs. They're capable of filling a room’s empty space with their angled legs and curvy bodies, but they tend to be rather big in size. As the chairs bring visual weight, scale is an important consideration when choosing an Art Deco-styled furniture. The retro vibe of the Art Deco style embraces weighty, oversized pieces. Just choose the scale that works best within your space, one that doesn’t dominate in the room. Also, don’t be afraid to go out of your comfort zone as you choose your Art Deco armchair/s.

A quality Art Deco armchair costs anywhere between $1,000 and $15,000, so it pays if you make a careful selection. Test the armchair’s stability thoroughly. If you aren’t satisfied with it, you should be able to return the piece. As for the seat, it should be firm and capable of letting you get out of it with ease. Also, the armrests and the seat’s length must allow your arms and feet to be as comfortable as possible.
